This site is about all the edits in WarioWare: Twisted!, it's very interesting in my opinion.

Latest News / Re: Wario Land: The Shake Dimension Rated for Australia

And this is the first Wario game to actually have a story.

I'm not sure but I have all three on carts.

Uh, what? Are you really the nensondubois who posted here? You are kidding, right?

That would be awesome.  Hopefully, Wario will mainly do grunts, groans, screams, and one-liners, like in the MPT and MG:TT intros.  That way he doesn't need to be dubbed for other languages.

The Super Mario Sunshine videos weren't dubbed, either. For the additional languages of the European version, there were just subtitles. I wouldn't wonder if the same will go for Wario Land.

Which Wario games did they make?

According to Wikipedia, again, Nintendo developed all of the 5 previous Wario Land games (more precisely, the development team Nintendo R&D1).

GREAT news! After 12 years of delay, I still hope so much that Europe will finally get the game some day. It seems that this wish comes true! I really want to play the father of all Mario RPGs.

Here's a small boxart:

Can you see the long-haired woman with the baggy pants on the left side, above the logo? The coloring is different, but otherwise, she surely is Captain Syrup, don't you think?

Fryguy from NinDB told me that he knows that the American were not shown in Japan.

So we know at least that, but I still don't know anything about the thoughts of Japanese fans on those cartoons.

Finally, a new Wario Land! Great news after the short Wario World and the not so good Master of Disguise. The game's logo reminds of that from Wario Land 4. I think this can only be a good omen. I love the WarioWare series very much, but it's sad that Wario platformers became so rare since Wario is a mini-game fanatic, though.

Latest News / Re: Dr. Mario Online Rx Released in North America

« on: May 28, 2008, 11:16:41 AM »

I wonder why the name is so much different from the names in other regions.

In the last years, various Mario-related games have been released with very different names in North America, Europe and Australia. Super Mario Strikers/Mario Smash Football, Mario Hoops 3-on-3/Mario Slam Basketball, Yoshi Topsy-Turvy/Yoshi's Universal Gravitation, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast/Donkey Kong Jet Race, to name some titles. For Europe, the title is sometimes even translated into more languages. In this case, the newest Dr. Mario is known as "Dr. Mario & Bazillenjagd" in my language (German).

Well, they had their own show/animated movie over there, didn't they?

Well, they had an anime movie based on Super Mario Bros. and a threepart OVA anime series mixing Super Mario Bros. 3 with fairy tales.

But not a whole TV series. Hum, still don't know anything about the degree of popularity of the American cartoons in Japan...

Mario Chat / American Mario cartoons in Japan?

« on: May 23, 2008, 11:01:34 AM »

The American Mario cartoon series from the late 1980s/early 1990s had been translated into various languages. But I would like to know if any of the shows had been ever localised for the country where the Nintendo headquarters are, Japan? And if they weren't, are the Japanese fans as curious about the American shows as fans from the western world are curious about the Japan-only Mario animes? Or are they even more interested in it?

I'm simply interested what the Japanese fans think about the American Mario cartoon shows and how much known they are there, does anybody know something?

Very nice, but the Items coloring page doesn't work for some reason (404 error).

I hope that's in right place here: I've recently read in Wikipedia that Pyoro (the roundly bird) is a direct parody of Kyoro-chan, a mascot for a Morinaga chocolate brand in Japan. Both Pyoro's name and appearance are a parody of this character, which couldn't be more obvious. Watch this opening of the Kyoro-chan anime series, then you'll understand:

OMG! I didn't except that...

Some people here surely already knew this, but according to the Google hits, this fact seems to be quite unknown outside of Japan.

The only real one-shot characters are Count Cannoli and Mallow.

What about the many one-shot characters from Wario's Woods? Were they also killed?

This'd be just like asking if characters from Donkey Kong Country belong in the Mario series.

The difference is that characters from Donkey Kong Country (Diddy, Dixie, and the Kremlings) already made it into the Mario series.
